However I somehow have managed to pair them up with a sad song, about a flower, in a way.

It’s actually the lyrics that are a bit sad perhaps, but I love this song and this group and I hope you’ll like them too :)

This is one of my favourite groups, their name is L’Ham De Foc and they are from Valencia, Spain.They are unfortunately no longer together, but their records are available on line.And here are my flowers:

They started out like little drawings. They’re rather minute, like the one the song speaks about.

I painted them together because they are a set.

I tried to make them feel similar through colour.

It took me quite a while to finish them, I kept on asking them which colour they wanted certain petals to be and they kept asking for white.

And guess what? They were right about certain petals, they were white, I just had not noticed it at first :)

I’ve included a translation to the lyrics of this song in English and Spanish and the original lyrics in Valenciano.

The words made me sad when I first read it but I think this song is amazing.
I love the pipes and all the medieval folkloric spicy magical feeling there is to it.

A name

I had nothing to loose so I took the seedDry and black that he kept like gold inside a handkerchiefStill in the hope that I would find comforting

And in the soil of a planter I placed it at sundownA crib in case it grew as the sorcerer had saidwho with roots had promised me a child or two

And donkey’s ear* you made me harvest, cat’s claws I searched for, foxglove from the slope, fern from an old lady (twice)

The next day came quickly and at the same time as the dew

It sprouted and bloomed with little luckwhom only came for a day, for a day or two

and in the soil of the planter I placed at sundowna coffin in case the little flower diedI wont have time to give younot even a nameAnd donkey’s ear* you made me harvest, cat’s claws I searched for, foxglove from the slope, fern from an old lady (twice)
